Firstly, you need to eat LOTS of protein, at least 200g each day. Chicken, fish, milk and leen beef are your friends in this part. A good whey protein powder for after a workout (i like optimum nutritions chocolate) is pretty much essential for good muscle gains. You live in the states, so mosey on over to somewhere like bodybuilding.com for their store.
Lots of carboydrates are also a must. Be careful with this though, you want nice complex ones such as potato, oats, wholemeal bread, vegetables and so on and so forth. All the things your mother tried to feed you as a child are generally best
You need to eat, and eat, and eat, and eat and eat and eat (be very careful to avoid fats though). Diet is 80% of the key here, lifting is 10% and the rest is getting enough sleep and rest between lifting. Try and get something in your system every couple of hours and you'll notice the pounds start to add up.
As another tall guy (you've got a couple of inches on me) i'm going to have to warn you it'll be a long time before you start noticing bulk on your frame. you'll need at least another 20lbs or so to have the 'big' effect (which is what everyone wants at the end of the day).

I'll go a hunting for some better stuff, but firstly, while we're discussing the matter, i need to eat!
